The sales channel
The sales channel picks the invoice type, not the till logo
A retail sale to a consumer is usually a simplified tax invoice: that title, a Phase 1 QR, and no mandatory buyer fields. A wholesale sale to a business or government is usually a tax invoice with buyer details. The detailed guideline optionally allows simplified invoices B2B under SAR 1,000. Fawtar POS on Business issues a simplified invoice per sale with QR and a sequence, and deducts stock. It is not a till for every wholesale case, and we do not claim Phase 2 approval.
Fawtar at fawtar.app is an independent Saudi product. It is not ZATCA’s Fatoora platform, not Fatoora.app, not Oman’s Fawtara programme, and not Jordanian Fawtara products. This page is a reading aid. Last verified 2026-08-29. It is not tax advice.
Retail versus wholesale
| Item | Retail / till | Wholesale / business |
|---|---|---|
| Usual type | Simplified tax invoice. | Tax invoice. |
| Buyer | A consumer; details not mandatory in Phase 1. | Name and address; VAT number if registered. |
| In Fawtar | POS issues simplified with QR and stock deduction. | The generator or workspace invoice as a tax invoice. |
This is not the types page again
The standard-versus-simplified page covers fields and Phase 2. This page asks the shop-floor question: till sale to a person, or an invoice to a firm? If it is a firm above the SAR 1,000 option, a simplified till ticket is the wrong document.
What the till is not
Fawtar is not a full retail suite (loyalty, weigh-scale, multi-kitchen) the way broader suites market themselves. Our vendor comparisons say so. Phase 2 is a Business path with no completed customer production onboarding.
What Fawtar does here
Business: a cash-drawer shift, cash or card, branch stock deduction, a simplified invoice. A sale to a company needs a tax invoice from the invoice path, not the cashier screen.

Short questions
Is a till ticket enough for a wholesale customer?
Usually not. A registered firm needs a tax invoice with its details, unless the optional simplified path under SAR 1,000 applies.
Is Fawtar POS ZATCA-approved?
A Phase 2 integration path exists on the Business plan: device onboarding with a Fatoora OTP, simplified-invoice signing, and Reporting/Clearance routes. As of 29 August 2026 no customer has completed production onboarding end to end, and Fawtar is not described as a ZATCA-approved or listed solution.
